We are all looking forward to what Blizzard has to offer in the future. Here are some updates happening in patch 9.1 although not all of them in great detail during Blizzcon. Let’s go over five of the most anticipated updates that a lot of players are looking forward to in future patch Chains of Dominations.
Patch 9.0.5 has been a very decent patch. A 0.5 patch for World of Warcraft is never a major patch rather small adjustments for the current meta. Couple updates for quality of life and maybe even certain must-have class changes. 9.0.5 brought us quite a lot of changes for us to enjoy but a lot of us are expecting, waiting and anticipating patch 9.1 which is a major content patch for World of Warcraft.
0:51 CLASS CHANGES
This patch is definitely going to have some class adjustments. 0.5 patch did a couple of things in order to bring up certain specs and play styles to make them a little bit more stronger but not really shift in the meta. In patch 9.1 there is going to be a lot of changes from the way that we will play the mythic plus dungeons with the seasonal affix. As well as the way that the raids are going to be designed with the new raid available in patch 9.1.
The way we will be interacting with content will have huge ramifications. And that will be a perfect opportunity for Blizzard to shore up some of the weaknesses certain play styles may have, classes or even specs which definitely need an update. And one of the best updates that Blizzard did in Shadowlands during the Alpha and the Beta was the way that they changed the Shadow Priest. I think if they were to adjust certain play styles that have been feeling lacking or maybe not as modern for WoW, maybe something new and unique being added to the game. The Shadow Priest should definitely be an example for many in terms of where the spec was when it comes to Battle for Azeroth and how greatly it changed when it comes to Shadowlands. Taking a lot of the community feedback on the way the spec should play, for example make it void from a cooldown and bringing back DP as a main way to maintain your DoTs. Then also changing the masteries is actually useful. And the way that the weave DoTs, the play styles, it’s been great. So hopefully we will see more good class changes going forward in patch 9.1. It would be a perfect opportunity and if Blizzard takes their time with this patch, we are hoping that they will have some great advancements in the way that we will play our characters.
2:40 MOUNT UPDATES
We are going to get a lot of mounts to ride around in the next patch. From the new zone of Korthia, which will be an attachment of the Maw. It will bring a variety of different rares and treasures for us to find as well as a lot of the mounts to earn. The covenant mounts will all have a unique look. I really like the thematic things they went for when it comes to every other covenant. As well as probably the biggest updates the mount could receive in 9.1. Not specific mounts in terms of the looks but rather the fact that all mounts would finally be able to be rideable in the Maw. Quite a lot of us have worked really hard in order to make sure we get out corridor creeper from Torghast or gotten lucky with one of the hunts to unlock one of the rideable Maw mounts.
Even though Blizzard added a third way for you to earn a mount that is rideable in the Maw through a quest line with a bit of secrets which has plenty of guides to it by now. There are still quite a lot of people who do not have a rideable Maw mount and traversing the Maw especially with all the new stuff that course is going to offer is going to be overall a pretty big game changer for the future patch of 9.1.
3:57 COVENANT UPDATES
There are a lot of things Blizzard planned but nothing that’s been set in stone. One of the things we will definitely be getting is more renowned rewards and a lot more cosmetics.
For Venthyr we have the tombstone, lantern, blades but what if every covenant got even more interesting back pieces and maybe even more mounts to ride and maybe even more weapon enchants. I am not against getting more cosmetics because I think the renowned system works out pretty well for it. With covenants, we are rumored to get even more updates towards the soul bind system compared to Battle for Azeroth. We have a system in Shadowlands that actually works and it works independently of other systems. Since sonic BFA where they have to redo the system every single time with every single major patch. Know when the Blizzard wants to build upon the current soul bind system expanding the soul binds to give players more choices in terms of how to play their characters. Maybe even providing different types of conduits more than just potency, endurance and finesse. It is intriguing in terms of what covenant changes we are going to get.
From covenant abilities to soul binds themselves to how they interact with classes, there are definitely going to be a lot of combinations and hopefully more opportunities to re-roll covenants in the next patch.
5:26 DUNGEONS
A lot of players enjoy a variety of end-game content in WoW, some most liked PVP and some most liked dungeons as well as raids. The patch 9.1 is going to have everything but definitely a new dungeon and a brand new raid. First of all a mega dungeon is going to be added, a broker themed mega dungeon so it is going to have a lot of bosses. It is supposedly going to have a lot of new mechanics and interesting concepts behind it. Definitely interesting to see whenever those dungeons end up being added into the mythic plus rotation with especially how the affixes are going to work. I think Blizzard has done a good job with the mega dungeons. Karazhan was a massive success making it almost super enjoyable and I am hoping the mega dungeon of Shadowlands will be quite good as well.
We have a brand new raid with Sylvanas as the final boss. Kin-Tara grew as one of those bosses as well as Kel’Thuzad so there’s a lot of lore things that is going to happen with that dungeon for sure. It is also going to be a dungeon full of new mechanics as well as sweet raid gear. The legendary gear you are currently wearing on your character, apparently there is going to be available gear for the Maw raid. So it will be quite exciting to collect the full set as well as see what the final boss and the mechanics have in store for us.
6:51 TORGHAST
Torghast is better content than what BFA had with Islands for example. I kind of enjoyed the ability to create a variety of different wacky and interesting builds every single time I do Torghast. And some of the hopes I have for Torghast is a lot more events, a lot more enemies and a lot more possibilities for builds. I think Blizzard should take what they have with Torghast right now and just keep building upon it with even more powers, add hundreds of different powers into Torghast so that every single run that you have is going to be different. It is a new way to play WoW with ways to make your character super overpowered or even give you play styles that you normally would not be able to experience.
